    Airbus A300 Question

    Hey Guys:

    I have noticed in this picture and in other pictures of the Airbus A300 and A310 A/C that there is an extra window behind the last door near the tail, what is that window for ? seats, bathroom? , If it is for pax i am sure that would be a hell of a seat to sit in ;)

    Heres the picture

    Side note- the letters on the tails of these planes spell out Martin Luther King's initials =P

    Perhaps it's a special modification for Olympic because it doesn't appear on American A300s.

    After a quick search on Anet, it's on some and not on others. Tunisair, China Southern and Lufthansa have them.

    Moose, that was so wrong ;).

    Yet funny. I like how the tail sweeps up and the floor within the cabin sweeps up toward the back too.

    You can see what I mean here.

    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    I just looked through Jetphoto and most A300 seem to either have the window or have a plug in it
    Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....
